Dressed in dark slacks and a gray T-shirt, Dulin stood alongside his lawyer, James W. Bergenn, of Hartford, as Judge Frank A. Iannotti agreed with Bergenn's request for the continuance.

Dulin could be sent back to jail on this latest charge, that he violated his probation by having contact with children. Specifically, his probation officer alleges that Dulin was at a party for eighth-graders in his Milford home, and that he also attended his daughter's high school volleyball games.

In September 2007 Dulin, 54, received an 18-month prison sentence for having sex with a 17-year-old female who participated in a summer basketball camp that he coached. Under the conditions of his probation, he's not supposed to have any contact with children, and he has to stay away from places where children congregate, such as playgrounds, schoolyards and parks. He also can't have contact with children via email, the Internet or any other means.

This isn't the first time that Dulin has had to face a judge for violating probation. Not two months after he was released from prison, he was sent back to prison for 90 days for not attending his court-ordered sex offender treatment. He also got in a fracas at the downtown 7 Seas Restaurant in Sept. 2009 when he struck a man in the face. He was shouting obscenities, too, upsetting patrons at the popular watering hole.

Dulin, of Weeping Willow Lane, is listed as one of 23 registered sex offenders in the city.

The arrest warrant for this latest charge hints at a possible defense, however. The warrant indicates that there may have been a misunderstanding over whether he could attend his daughter's away volleyball games. As for the party with the eighth-graders, the defense is expected to argue that since Dulin's wife is an "approved supervisor" who attended special classes for this certification, and that she was present at the event.

The defendant was a basketball standout at UConn between 1978 and 1981. He's free on $25,000 bond, but he must continue his regular visits with his probation officer, Iannotti said.

In other court action, it was learned that only four jurors have been selected so far in the case of Jason Anderson, the former Milford officer who faces two charges of manslaughter in a crash on the Post Road in Orange that occurred at about 2:15 a.m. on June 13, 2009. The accident killed David P. Servin, 19, the driver of the other car, and Servin's passenger, Ashlie Krakowski, also 19. Both were from Orange.

Anderson, just prior to the crash, was driving his Milford police cruiser in excess of 90 mph, police say, and he wasn't on an emergency call.

Jury selection began Oct. 2, and there was a pool of 36 candidates which soon shrunk to 20 after those with time conflicts or knowledge of those involved were excused. Judge Denise Markle said that she wants a panel of six jurors and three alternates. The trial is planned to begin on Oct. 23.
